Face expressionless, the Tuatha’an woman stared at the banner as it drooped again, then turned her attention to those around the fire. Especially the one reading, the one half again as tall as Perrin and twice a big. “You have an Ogier with you. I would not have thought . . . ” She shook her head. “Where is Moiraine Sedai?” It seemed the Dragon banner might as well not exist as far as she was concerned.
Perrin gestured toward the rough but that stood furthest up the slope, at the far end of the bowl. With walls and sloping roof of unpeeled logs, it was the largest, though not very big at that.  “That one is hers. Hers and Lan’s. He is her Warder. When you have had something hot to drink—”
“No. I must speak to Moiraine.”
He was not surprised. All the women who came insisted on speaking to Moiraine immediately, and alone. The news that Moiraine chose to share with the rest of them did not always seem very important, but the women held the intensity of a hunter stalking the last rabbit in the world for his starving family. The half-frozen old beggar woman had refused blankets and a plate of hot stew and tramped up to Moiraine’s hut, barefoot in still-falling snow.
Leya slid from her saddle and handed the reins up to Perrin. “Will you see that she is fed?” She patted the piebald mare’s nose. “Piesa is not used to carrying me over such rugged country.”
“Fodder is scarce, still,” Perrin told her, “but she’ll have what we can give her.”
Leya nodded, and went hurrying away up the slope without another word, holding her bright green skirts up, the blue-embroidered red cloak swaying behind her.
Perrin swung down from his saddle, exchanging a few words with the men who came from the fires to take the horses. He gave his bow to the one who took Stepper. No, except for one raven, they had seen nothing but the mountains and the Tuatha’an woman. Yes, the raven was dead. No, she had told them nothing of what was happening outside the mountains. No, he had no idea whether they would be leaving soon.
Or ever, he added to himself. Moiraine had kept them there all winter. The Shienarans did not think she gave the orders, not here, but Perrin knew that Aes Sedai somehow always seemed to get their way. Especially Moiraine.
Once the horses were led away to the rude log stable, the riders went to warm themselves. Perrin tossed his cloak back over his shoulders and held his hands out to the flames gratefully. The big kettle, Baerlon work by the look of it, gave off smells that had been making his mouth water for some time already. Someone had been lucky hunting today, it seemed, and lumpy roots circled another fire close by, giving off an aroma faintly like turnips as they roasted. He wrinkled his nose and concentrated on the stew. More and more he wanted meat above anything else.
The woman in men’s clothes was peering toward Leya, who was just disappearing into Moiraine’s hut.
“What do you see, Min?” he asked.
She came to stand beside him, her dark eyes troubled. He did not understand why she insisted on breeches instead of skirts. Perhaps it was because he knew her, but he could not see how anyone could look at her and see a too-handsome youth instead of a pretty young woman.
“The Tinker woman is going to die,” she said softly, eyeing the others near the fires. None was close enough to hear.
He was still, thinking of Leya’s gentle face. Ah, Light! Tinkers never harm anyone! He felt cold despite the warmth of the fire. Burn me, I wish I’d never asked. Even the few Aes Sedai who knew of it did not understand what Min did. Sometimes she saw images and auras surrounding people, and sometimes she even knew what they meant.
Masuto came to stir the stew with a long wood spoon. The Shienaran eyed them, then laid a finger alongside his long nose and grinned widely before he left.
“Blood and ashes!” Min muttered. “He’s probably decided we are sweethearts murmuring to each other by the fire.”
“Are you sure?” Perrin asked. She raised her eyebrows at him, and he hastily added, “About Leya.”
“Is that her name? I wish I didn’t know. It always makes it worse, knowing and not being able to . . . Perrin, I saw her own face floating over her shoulder, covered in blood, eyes staring. It’s never any clearer than that.” She shivered and rubbed her hands together briskly. “Light, but I wish I saw more happy things. All the happy things seem to have gone away.”
He opened his mouth to suggest warning Leya, then closed it again. There was never any doubt about what Min saw and knew, for good or bad. If she was certain, it happened.
“Blood on her face,” he muttered.  He winced that he said it so easily. But what can I do? If I tell Leya, if I make her believe somehow, she’ll live her last days in fear, and it will change nothing.
Min gave a short nod.
If she’s going to die by violence, it could mean an attack on the camp. But there were scouts out every day, and guards set day and night. And Moiraine had the camp warded, so she said; no creature of the Dark One would see it unless he walked right into it. He thought of the wolves. No! The scouts would find anyone or anything trying to approach the camp. “It’s a long way back to her people,” he said half to himself. “Tinkers wouldn’t have brought their wagons any further than the foothills. Anything could happen between here and there.”
Min nodded sadly. “And there aren’t enough of us to spare even one guard for her. Even if it would do any good.”
She had told him; she had tried warning people about bad things when, at six or seven, she had first realized not everyone could see what she saw. She would not say more, but he had the impression that her warnings had only made matters worse, when they were believed at all. It took some doing to believe in Min’s viewings until you had proof.
“When?” he said. The word was cold in his ears, and hard as tool steel. I can’t do anything ahout Leya, but maybe I can figure out whether we’re going to be attacked.
 She kept her voice down, though. “It isn’t like that. I can never tell when something is going to happen. I only know it will, if I even know what I see means. You don’t understand. The seeing doesn’t come when I want it to, and neither does knowing. It just happens, and sometimes I know. Something. A little bit. It just happens.” He tried to get a soothing word in, but she was letting it all out in a flood he could not stem. “I can see things around a man one day and not the next, or the other way ’round. Most of the time, I don’t see anything around anyone. Aes Sedai always have images around them, of course, and Warders, though it’s always harder to say what it means with them than with anyone else.” She gave Perrin a searching look, half squinting. “A few others always do, too.”
“Don’t tell me what you see when you look at me,” he said harshly, then shrugged his heavy shoulders. Even as a child he had been bigger than most of the others, and he had quickly learned how easy it was to hurt people by accident when you were bigger than they. It had made him cautious and careful, and regretful of his anger when he let it show. “I am sorry, Min. I shouldn’t have snapped at you. I did not mean to hurt you.”
She gave him a surprised look. “You didn’t hurt me. Blessed few people want to know what I see. The Light knows, I would not, if it were someone else who could do it.” Even the Aes Sedai had never heard of anyone else who had her gift. “Gift” was how they saw it, even if she did not.
“It’s just that I wish there were something I could do about Leya. I couldn’t stand it the way you do, knowing and not able to do anything.”
“Strange,” she said softly, “how you seem to care so much about the Tuatha’an.
“Tuatha’an?” came a rumbling voice, like a huge bumblebee. “What about the Tuatha’an?” The Ogier came to join them at the fire, marking his place in his book with a finger the size of a large sausage. A thin streamer of tabac smoke rose from the pipe in his other hand. His high-necked coat of dark brown wool buttoned up to the neck, and flared at the knee over turned-down boot tops. Perrin stood hardly as high as his chest.
 His eyes were the size of saucers, with thick eyebrows that dangled like mustaches almost to his cheeks, and his ears poked up through long hair in ruffed points. Some who had never seen an Ogier took him for a Trolloc, though Trollocs were as much legend to most of them as Ogier.
Loial’s wide smile wavered and his eyes blinked as he became aware of having interrupted them. Perrin wondered how anyone could be frightened of the Ogier for long. Yet some of the old stories call them fierce, and implacable as enemies. He could not believe it. Ogier were enemies to no one.
Min told Loial of Leya’s arrival, but not of what she had seen. She was usually closemouthed about those seeings, especially when they were bad. Instead, she added, “You should know how I feel, Loial, suddenly caught up by Aes Sedai and these Two Rivers folk.”
Loial made a noncommittal sound, but Min seemed to take it for agreement.
“Yes,” she said emphatically. “There I was, living my life in Baerlon as I liked it, when suddenly I was grabbed up by the scruff of the neck and jerked off to the Light knows where. Well, I might as well have been. My life has not been my own since I met Moiraine. And these Two Rivers farmboys.”  “All I wanted was to live as I pleased, fall in love with a man I chose . . . ” Her cheeks reddened suddenly, and she cleared her throat. “I mean to say, what is wrong with wanting to live your life without all this upheaval?”
“Ta’veren,” Loial began. Perrin waved at him to stop, but the Ogier could seldom be slowed, much less stopped, when one of his enthusiasms had him in its grip. He was accounted extremely hasty, by the Ogier way of looking at things. Loial pushed his book into a coat pocket and went on, gesturing with his pipe. “All of us, all of our lives, affect the lives of others, Min. As the Wheel of Time weaves us into the Pattern, the life-thread of each of us pulls and tugs at the life-threads around us. Ta’veren are the same, only much, much more so. They tug at the entire Pattern—for a time, at least—forcing it to shape around them. The closer you are to them, the more you are affected personally. It’s said that if you were in the same room with Artur Hawkwing, you could feel the Pattern rearranging itself. I don’t know how true that is, but I’ve read that it was. But it doesn’t only work one way. Ta’veren themselves are woven to a tighter line than the rest of us, with fewer choices.”
Perrin grimaced. Bloody few of the ones that matter.
Min tossed, her head.  Ta’veren tugging on one side, and Aes Sedai meddling on the other. What chance does a woman have?”
Loial shrugged. “Very little, I suppose, as long as she stays close to ta’veren.”
“As if I had a choice,” Min growled.
“It was your good fortune—or misfortune, if you see it that way—to fall in with not one, but three ta’veren. Rand, Mat, and Perrin. I myself count it very good fortune, and would even if they weren’t my friends. I think I might even . . . ” The Ogier looked at them, suddenly shy, his ears twitching. “Promise you will not laugh? I think I might write a book about it. I have been taking notes.”
Min smiled, a friendly smile, and Loial’s ears pricked back up again. “That’s wonderful,” she told him. “But some of us feel as if we’re being danced about like puppets by these ta’veren.”
“I didn’t ask for it,” Perrin burst out. “I did not ask for it.”
She ignored him. “Is that what happened to you, Loial? Is that why you travel with Moiraine? I know you Ogier almost never leave your stedding. Did one of these ta’veren tug you along with him?”
Loial became engrossed in a study of his pipe. “I just wanted to see the groves the Ogier planted,” he muttered. “Just to see the groves.” He glanced at Perrin as if asking for help, but Perrin only grinned.
Let’s see how the shoe nails onto your hoof. He did not know all of it, but he did know Loial had run away. He was ninety years old, but not yet old enough by Ogier standards to leave the stedding—going Outside, they called it—without the permission of the Elders. Ogier lived a very long time, as humans saw things. Loial said the Elders would not be best pleased when they put their hands on him again. He seemed intent on putting that moment off as long as possible.
There was a stir among the Shienarans, men getting to their feet. Rand was coming out of Moiraine’s hut.
Even at that distance Perrin could make him out clearly, a young man with reddish hair and gray eyes. He was of an age with Perrin, and would stand half a head taller if they were side by side, though Rand was more slender, if still broad across the shoulders. Embroidered golden thorns ran up the sleeves of his high-collared red coat, and on the breast of his dark cloak stood the same creature as on the banner, the four-legged serpent with the golden mane. Rand and he had grown up together as friends. Are we still friends? Can we be? Now?
The Shienarans bowed as one, heads held up but hands to knees. “Lord Dragon,” Uno called, “we stand ready. Honor to serve.”
Uno, who could hardly say a sentence without a curse, spoke now with the deepest respect. The others echoed him. “Honor to serve.” Masema, who saw ill in everything, and whose eyes now shone with utter devotion; Ragan; all of them, awaiting a command if it were Rand’s pleasure to give one.
From the slope Rand stared down at them a moment, then turned and disappeared into the trees.
“He has been arguing with Moiraine again,” Min said quietly. “All day, this time.”
Perrin was not surprised, yet he still felt a small shock. Arguing with an Aes Sedai. All the childhood tales came back to him. Aes Sedai, who made thrones and nations dance to their hidden strings. Aes Sedai, whose gift always had a hook in it, whose price was always smaller than you could believe, yet always turned out to be greater than you could imagine. Aes Sedai, whose anger could break the ground and summon lightning. Some of the stories were untrue, he knew now. And at the same time, they did not tell the half.
“I had better go to him,” he said. “After they argue, he always needs someone to talk to.” And aside from Moiraine and Lan, there were only the three of them—Min, Loial, and him—who did not stare at Rand as if he stood above kings. And of the three only Perrin knew him from before.
He strode up the slope, pausing only to glance at the closed door of Moiraine’s hut. Leya would be in there, and Lan. The Warder seldom let himself get far from the Aes Sedai’s side.
Rand’s much smaller hut was a little lower down, well hidden in the trees, away from all the rest. He had tried living down among the other men, but their constant awe drove him off. He kept to himself, now. Too much to himself, to Perrin’s thinking. But he knew Rand was not headed to his hut now.
Perrin hurried on to where one side of the bowl-shaped valley suddenly became sheer cliff, fifty paces high and smooth except for tough brush clinging tenaciously here and there. He knew exactly where a crack in the gray rock wall lay, an opening hardly wider than his shoulders. With only a ribbon of late-afternoon light overhead, it was like walking down a tunnel.
Half a mile the crack ran, abruptly opening out into a narrow vale, less than a mile long, its floor covered with rocks and boulders, and even the steep slopes were thickly forested with tall leatherleaf and pine and fir. Long shadows stretched away from the sun sitting on the mountaintops. The walls of this place were unbroken save for the crack, and as steep as if a giant axe had buried itself in the mountains. It could be even more easily defended by a few than the bowl, but it had neither stream nor spring. No one went there. Except Rand, after he argued with Moiraine.
Rand stood not far from the entrance, leaning against the rough trunk of a leatherleaf, staring at the palms of his hands. Perrin knew that on each there was a heron, branded into the flesh. Rand did not move when Perrin’s boot scraped on stone.
Suddenly Rand began to recite softly, never looking up from his hands.
“Twice and twice shall he be marked,
twice to live, and twice to die.
Once the heron, to set his path.
Twice the heron, to name him true.
Once the Dragon, for remembrance lost.
Twice the Dragon, for the price he must pay.”
With a shudder he tucked his hands under his arms. “But no Dragons, yet.” He chuckled roughly. “Not yet.”
For a moment Perrin simply looked at him. A man who could channel the One Power.  A man—a thing!—everyone was taught to loathe and fear from childhood. Only . . . it was hard to stop seeing the boy he had grown up with. How do you just stop being somebody’s friend? Perrin chose a small boulder with a flat top, and sat, waiting.
After a while Rand turned his head to look at him. “Do you think Mat is all right? He looked so sick, the last I saw him.”
“He must be all right by now.” He should be in Tar Valon, by now. They’ll Heal him, there. And Nynaeve and Egwene will keep him out of trouble. Egwene and Nynaeve, Rand and Mat and Perrin. All five from Emond’s Field in the Two Rivers. Few people had come into the Two Rivers from outside, except for occasional peddlers, and merchants once a year to buy wool and tabac. Almost no one had ever left. Until the Wheel chose out its ta’veren, and five simple country folk could stay where they were no longer. Could be what they had been no longer.
Rand nodded and was silent.
“Lately,” Perrin said, “I find myself wishing I was still a blacksmith. Do you . . . Do you wish you were still just a shepherd?”
“Duty,” Rand muttered. “Death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain. That’s what they say in Shienar. ‘The Dark One is stirring. The Last Battle is coming. And the Dragon Reborn has to face the Dark One in the Last Battle, or the Shadow will cover everything. The Wheel of Time broken. Every Age remade in the Dark One’s image.’ There’s only me.” He began to laugh mirthlessly, his shoulders shaking. “I have the duty, because there isn’t anybody else, now is there?”
Perrin shifted uneasily. The laughter had a raw edge that made his skin crawl. “I understand you were arguing with Moiraine again. The same thing?”
Rand drew a deep, ragged breath. “Don’t we always argue about the same thing? They’re down there, on Almoth Plain, and the Light alone knows where else. Hundreds of them. Thousands. They declared for the Dragon Reborn because I raised that banner. Because I let myself be called the Dragon. Because I could see no other choice. And they’re dying. Fighting, searching, and praying for the man who is supposed to lead them. Dying. And I sit here safe in the mountains all winter. I . . . I owe them . . . something.”
“You think I like it?” Perrin swung his head in irritation.
“You take whatever she says to you,” Rand grated. “You never stand up to her.”
“Much good it has done you, standing up to her. You have argued all winter, and we have sat here like lumps all winter.”
“Because she is right.” Rand laughed again, that chilling laugh. “The Light burn me, she is right. They are all split up into little groups all over the plain, all across Tarabon and Arad Doman. If I join any one of them, the Whitecloaks and the Domani army and the Taraboners will be on top of them like a duck on a beetle.”
Perrin almost laughed himself, in confusion. “If you agree with her, why in the Light do you argue all the time?”
“Because I have to do something. Or I’ll . . . I’ll—burst like a rotted melon!”
“Do what?  “Moiraine says! Moiraine says!” Rand jerked erect, squeezing his head between his hands. “Moiraine has something to say about everything! Moiraine says I mustn’t go to the men who are dying in my name. Moiraine says I’ll know what to do next because the Pattern will force me to it. Moiraine says! But she never says how I’ll know. Oh, no! She doesn’t know that.”  “Sometimes I feel as if Moiraine is putting me through my paces like a fancy Tairen stallion doing his steps. Do you ever feel that?”
Perrin scrubbed a hand through his shaggy hair. “I . . . Whatever is pushing us, or pulling us, I know who the enemy is, Rand.”
“Ba’alzamon,” Rand said softly. An ancient name for the Dark One. In the Trolloc tongue, it meant Heart of the Dark. “And I must face him, Perrin.” His eyes closed in a grimace, half smile, half pain. “Light help me, half the time I want it to happen now, to be over and done with, and the other half . . . How many times can I manage to . . . Light, it pulls at me so. What if I can’t . . . What if I . . . ” The ground trembled.
“Rand?” Perrin said worriedly.
Rand shivered; despite the chill, there was sweat on his face.  “Oh, Light,” he groaned, “it pulls so.”
Suddenly the ground heaved beneath Perrin, and the valley echoed with a vast rumble. It seemed as if the ground was jerked out from under his feet. He fell—or the earth leaped up to meet him. The valley shook as though a vast hand had reached down from the sky to wrench it out of the land. He clung to the ground while it tried to bounce him like a ball.
“Rand!” His bellow was lost in the grumbling roar.
 He did not seem to feel the thrashing of the ground that had him now at one angle, now at another. His balance never shifted, no matter how he was tossed. Perrin could not be certain, being shaken as he was, but he thought Rand wore a sad smile. The trees flailed about, and the leatherleaf suddenly cracked in two, the greater part of its trunk crashing down not three paces from Rand. He noticed it no more than he noticed any of the rest.
Perrin struggled to fill his lungs. “Rand! For the love of the Light, Rand! Stop it!”
As abruptly as it had begun, it was done. A weakened branch cracked off of a stunted oak with a loud snap. Perrin got to his feet slowly, coughing. Dust hung in the air, sparkling motes in the rays of the setting sun.
Rand was staring at nothing, now, chest heaving as if he had run ten miles. This had never happened before, nor anything remotely like it.
“Rand,” Perrin said carefully, “what—?”
Rand still seemed to be looking into a far distance. “It is always there. Calling to me. Pulling at me. Saidin. The male half of the True Source. Sometimes I can’t stop myself from reaching out for it.” He made a motion of plucking something out of the air, and transferred his stare to his closed fist. “I can feel the taint even before I touch it. The Dark One’s taint, like a thin coat of vileness trying to hide the Light. It turns my stomach, but I cannot help myself. I cannot! Only sometimes, I reach out, and it’s like trying to catch air.” His empty hand sprang open, and he gave a bitter laugh. “What if that happens when the Last Battle comes? What if I reach out and catch nothing?”
“Well, you caught something that time,” Perrin said hoarsely. “What were you doing?”
Rand looked around as if seeing things for the first time. The fallen leatherleaf, and the broken branches. There was, Perrin realized, surprisingly little damage. He had expected gaping rents in the earth. The wall of trees looked almost whole.
“I did not mean to do this. It was as if I tried to open a tap, and instead pulled the whole tap out of the barrel. It . . . filled me. I had to send it somewhere before it burned me up, but I . . . I did not mean this.”
Perrin shook his head. What use to tell him to try not to do it again? He barely knows more about what he’s doing than I do. He contented himself with, “There are enough who want you dead—and the rest of us—without you doing the job for them.” Rand did not seem to be listening. “We had best get on back to the camp. It will be dark soon, and I don’t know about you, but I am hungry.”
“What? Oh. You go on, Perrin. I will be along. I want to be alone again a while.”
Perrin hesitated, then turned reluctantly toward the crack in the valley wall. He stopped when Rand spoke again.
“Do you have dreams when you sleep? Good dreams?”
“Sometimes,” Perrin said warily. “I don’t remember much of what I dream.” He had learned to set guards on his dreaming.
“They’re always there, dreams,” Rand said, so softly Perrin barely heard. “Maybe they tell us things. True things.” He fell silent, brooding.
“Supper’s waiting,” Perrin said, but Rand was deep in his own thoughts. Finally Perrin turned and left him standing there.


The API features described below are part of the developer channel plugin. These features are not officially supported, and may change at any time. We're providing the developer channel build to allow developers to experiment with new functionality before it's available to the general channel users.
This document gives an overview of the new features. It may change at any time, and may not be complete.
This dev channel release introduces some new time-related features, advanced selectors, and balloon methods that allow active content in your placemark balloons.
The dev channel plugin can be downloaded from http://earth.google.com/plugin/download-dev-plugin.html.
In order to gain access to the new API features, you must load the 1.x version of the API:
google.load("earth", "1.x");
The Google Earth plugin is more than just the three dimensions of the globe; time can also be adjusted and manipulated in the plugin. More information about time is available in the Time chapter.
Note that the plugin accepts XML standard (ISO 8601) time format; it is not compatible with the JavaScript Date object.
Time stamps can be created with createTimeStamp()
. Time spans are created with createTimeSpan()
. Both methods take an optional id.
Time stamps and spans can be applied to a placemark, a LookAt or Camera object, or to the Earth instance. The latter defines the time from which the viewport sees the globe. It can be overwritten by setting a new time stamp or time span on the Earth instance, or by flying to a time-aware placemark, LookAt, or Camera.
Placemarks, LookAts, and Camera views have supported time stamps and spans defined in their KML representations since version 5.0.11655.6079. createTimeStamp()
is a new API method to add or update time values, without the need to pass in new KML.
To create a time stamp:
var timeStamp = ge.createTimeStamp('optional_id'); timeStamp.getWhen().set('1987'); placemark.setTimePrimitive(timeStamp); lookat.setTimePrimitive(timeStamp); ge.getTime().setTimePrimitive(timeStamp);
To create a time span:
var timeSpan = ge.createTimeSpan('optional_id'); timeSpan.setBegin('2009-01-01T17:00:00-08:00'); timeSpan.setEnd('2011-05-05'); placemark.setTimePrimitive(timeSpan); lookat.setTimePrimitive(timeSpan); ge.getTime().setTimePrimitive(timeSpan);
To get the current plugin time:
function showCurrentPluginTime(){
var time = ge.getTime().getTimePrimitive();
if (time.getType() == 'KmlTimeSpan') {
alert('TimeSpan from ' + tp.getBegin().get() + ' to ' + tp.getEnd().get());
} else {
alert('TimeStamp at ' + tp.getWhen().get());
}
}
To get the current system time as a KmlTimeStamp object:
ge.getTime().getSystemTime()
The dev channel plugin can display historical imagery. Once it's enabled, you'll need to also display a time slider.
To toggle historical imagery:
ge.getTime().setHistoricalImageryEnabled(true); ge.getTime().setHistoricalImageryEnabled(false);
The time slider automatically appears when you one of the following actions is taken:
ge.getSun().setVisibility(true)
.You can also toggle the time controls by calling setVisibility()
on the time control object:
ge.getTime().getControl().setVisibility(ge.VISIBILITY_SHOW); ge.getTime().getControl().setVisibility(ge.VISIBILITY_HIDE);
The plugin's clock speed can be adjusted with setRate()
, which takes a float specifying the number of seconds that will elapse in the plugin for each 'real life' second.
To return the current rate, call ge.getTime().getRate()
.
var defaultRate = 1; // 1 second in the plugin for each real second. var speedyRate = 60*60*24*365; // 1 year for each real second. ge.getTime().setRate(speedyRate); ge.getTime().setRate(0); // Pause.
The developer channel plugin introduces new methods to return specific elements and properties.
An object's URL is its base address concatenated with its ID using the #
character. This URL can be returned by calling getUrl()
on the object.
var placemarkUrl = placemark.getFullKmlUrl();
Returns the object's style properties, including inherited properties and those imported from external stylesheets.
Objects that are imported as KML have an identifying URL consisting of their base address and ID, joined with the #
character. For example, if http://code.google.com/foo.kml was fetched and contained the following:
<kml> <Document> <Placemark id='bar'> ... </Placemark> </Document> </kml>
The placemark could be retrieved with:
var pm = ge.getElementByUrl('http://www.google.com/foo.kml#bar');
Objects created with the API, rather than by importing KML, have an unspecified base URL. Use getElementById()
to target these objects by their ID alone.
var newSO = ge.createScreenOverlay('foo'); ge.getFeatures().appendChild(newSO); ge.getElementById('foo');
You can obtain an array of all elements of a certain type, by passing that type as a string to getElementsByType()
.
objectList = document.getElementsByType('KmlPlacemark'); for (var i = 0; i < objectList.getLength(); ++i) { ... }
The Earth plugin strips potentially dangerous content from a placemark's description before rendering that description in a balloon. This prevents unsafe content from executing on a user's machine. However, if you have active content such as JavaScript that is known to be safe, and wish to display it in a balloon, there are a few options.
If your description content contains active content, the simplest way to include it in the balloon is to first create the placemark object, but prevent the standard description balloon from being created. Then, retrieve the content from the placemark object with getDescription()
, and reinsert it into a new balloon with setContentString()
.
If your placemark content contains an <ExtendedData>
element, which would be stripped by getDescription()
, use getBalloonHtml()
.
google.earth.addEventListener(ge.getGlobe(), 'click', function(event) { var obj = event.getTarget(); if (obj.getType() == 'KmlPlacemark'){ event.preventDefault(); var placemark = obj; var placemark_name = placemark.getName(); var placemark_desc = placemark.getBalloonHtml(); var balloon = ge.createHtmlStringBalloon(''); balloon.setFeature(placemark); balloon.setContentString('<h3>' + placemark_name + '</h3>' + placemark_desc); ge.setBalloon(balloon); } });
If your extended data also contains active content, use getBalloonHtmlUnsafe()
. This method won't strip active content from <ExtendedData>
elements.
This new event listener is fired when any balloon is triggered to open, but has not yet opened. It allows you to override balloon contents without having to listen for a click event.
google.earth.addEventListener(ge, 'balloonopening', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); var placemark = event.getBalloon.getFeature(); var description = placemark.getBalloonHtml(); // Now create a new balloon with rendered content. });

, right-click, and select "Run as administrator".
We are now going to make a directory within "Program Files" for packer. Type mkdir "C:\\Program Files"\packer
and click enter. "mkdir" tells command prompt to make a directory at the path we specified. We now need to move packer.exe
to the directory we made. This can be done by typing copy PATH/TO/PACKER.EXE "C:\\Program Files"\\packer.exe
into the command prompt. The "copy" command will a move a file from the first filepath specified to the second filepath. In the example shown below, you can see that I copied packer.exe
from my Downloads directory to the packer folder we made earlier.
Finally, we need to add packer.exe
to something called the "Path". In Windows, when a command is run from the command prompt, the "Path" is searched for files and directories that could contain the command. "Project BrightSun" needs to be able to call packer from command prompt, so it needs to be added to the Path. This can be done by typing setx PATH "%PATH%;PATH/TO/PACKER/DIRECTORY/
. This command is a little complicated. setx
allows you to set system variables such as PATH permanently. The second parameter it takes in is the variable we are setting, the PATH in this case. The third parameter is what we are setting it to.
Surrounding PATH with percentage signs (%PATH%
) in the third parameter inserts the current path. From there, we add a new PATH variable called PATH/TO/PACKER/DIRECTORY/
. Note that it's a path to the directory, NOT to packer.exe
. An example of all the commands can be seen below.

malwarebytes
Businessmodel of Malwarebytes
Customer Segments
Malwarebytes has a segmented market business model, with customers that have slightly different needs. The segments are consumers, small/medium businesses, enterprises, and non-profits.
Value Proposition
Malwarebytes offers five primary value propositions: accessibility, pricing, performance, risk reduction, and brand/status.
The company creates accessibility by offering a wide variety of options. Its solution identifies and removes malware on PCs and phones using next-generation anti-malware, anti-spyware, and anti-rootkit techology. Specific types of malware addressed include worms, rogues, bots, spyware, rootkits, and Trojans. It integrates with a wide variety of third-party security platforms that may already be on users‘ computers. Lastly, it is available in over 30 languages, making it usable by many.
The company offers a pricing value proposition. It offers a basic version of its software for free. It also offers a 14-day free trial for its premium version. Lastly, customers who upgrade from premium to basic receive a 50% discount.
The company has demonstrated strong performance through tangible results. Its solution features a setting called “Hyper Scan Mode“ that only targets active threats, making it analyze computers at a lightning-fast speed.
The company reduces risk by maintaining high security standards. Its solution not only removes existing infections, but prevents future ones by running continuously in the background. This real-time protection enables it to easily halt attempted attacks. This task is accomplished through the use of three proprietary technologies – signature, behavior, and heuristics. Its solution also prevents malware from removing the solution itself from devices through its Chameleon technology.
The company has established a strong brand due to its success. Its software has fixed over 250 million home computers, with an average of six PCs repaired every second. It has received over 200 million downloads worldwide and removed more than five billion pieces of malware. It is used by over 10,000 companies. Lastly , it has won many honors, including the following:
- Three Stevie Awards (two gold, one silver) at the American Business Awards (2016)
- Ranking as one of America’s “Most Promising Companies“ by Forbes (2015)
- Ranking as one of the“10 Best Medium Workplaces in Technology“ by Fortune (2016)
- Recognition of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.0 as the“Best Security Product“ by CRN (2015) ### Channels
Malwarebytes’ main channels are its direct sales team and its website. The company promotes its offering through its social media pages and participation in expos and conferences.
Customer Relationships
Malwarebytes’ customer relationship is primarily of a self-service, automated nature. Customers utilize the service through the main platform while having limited interaction with employees. The company’s website features a “Resources” section that includes tech briefs, case studies, data sheets, infographics, and webinars.
The site also features a “Support” section that includes user guides (consumer guides, business guides, legacy guides, and miscellaneous guides), and answers to frequently asked questions. Customers can also sign up for access to an e-mail newsletter.
Despite this orientation, there is a personal assistance component. The company offers three support service plans, which are as follows:
- Premium – Provides phone and e-mail support
- Premium Silver – Provides a designated Technical Account Manager (TAM) who guides clients from initial implementation through future upgrades
- Premium Gold – Provides a TAM and a Customer Success Engineer who support all aspects of clients‘ accounts and ensure clients‘ technical issues receive priority status Lastly, there is a community element in the form of a forum where clients can interact with peers.

There is a beautiful lake where all the lake animals live in peace. In this story, you are a fish. One day, your best friend swims up to you. She is panicked. She explains that she heard 2 fishermen talking to each other, saying that they are going to come to our lake and catch fish for dinner tommorow. She says that she is going to swim to a nearby pond. However, you must remember that the journey to the pond is long and dangerous. Do you go with your best friend or do you stay in the lake?


Madonna's Child The Next Best Thing
By Ross Anthony
In your past, were you ever an international pop icon? Or maybe you accidentally made love with your best gay friend in a drunken stupor and woke up pregnant? If so, then you can relate to "The Next Best Thing."
Or maybe you've gone to a multi-screen theater to see a movie, but after a half-hour of viewing discomfort you snuck into another film to try your luck at that show? "The Next Best Thing" recreates the experience and you don't even have to get out of your seat. Because it is really two films - count 'em - two films in one. Not interwoven, but one right after the other. A whimsically racy comedy starring Madonna and then a child custody drama starring Rupert Everett.
Remember "My Best Friends Wedding" with Julie Roberts? Well, you may recall that her best friend is a gay man with whom she vents her messy relationship woes via cell phone. In an absolutely sparkling scene at the end of that film, the gay friend comes to her rescue with style, comfort, and the perfectly devilish hint of romance. "Next Best Thing" sets out to snatch that moment while changing the sensual hint into a rude reality. In both cases the gay friend is played by Everett; I've been told Madonna's role was first offered to Roberts. And of course, there are the similar sounding titles.
But while Everett was marvelous in "Wedding." He can't save a picture ironically entitled "The Next Best Thing."  Fortunately, somebody must have realized that it just wasn't working because a third of the way through the film, they start a new film.
Basically, Madonna and Everett accidentally conceive a child. They decide to raise the boy as their mother and father under the same roof, but not in the same bed. Everett continues to date, but Madonna doesn't - until she meets Benjamin Bratt who delivers a strong performance as the perfect marriage pro spect. Everett's reaction is uncharacteristically selfish, and Madonna's response to that is even more out of character.
Feeling betrayed by both leads' motivations, the rather lame excuse for a climax is made lamer. However, the premises established are indeed interesting. The film could have been improved by 1) dropping the entire comedy preface, 2) drawing just a bit more out of Everett's relationship with his own father, 3) more diplomatic dialogue between he and Madonna prior to the legal battle. Also the interactions between Ben and Rupert grace this seldom graced film - perhaps more could have been done there. An earlier funeral scene was nearly very special - needing only a little tweaking to pull it from the theatric.
Madonna's acting performance is not more or less than average.
The Next Best Thing. Copyright © 2000. Rated PG-13. Starring Rupert Everett, Madonna, Benjamin Bratt, Malcolm Stumpf. Directed by John Schlesinger. Written by Thomas Ropelewski. Produced by Tom Resenberg, Leslie Dixon and Linne Radmin at Lakeshore/Paramount.

JOE DIRT RATING: 5/10
For more reviews and movie wallpapers, visit http://www.joblo.com/
PLOT: L'il Joey Dirt loses his parents at the Grand Canyon at the age of eight and spends the next ten years of his life looking for them. During his grand journey across the United States, Joe meets plenty of kooky characters, some of whom just put him down and others who help him along the way.
CRITIQUE: This movie is not what you'd expect. I went in looking for a short, disposable film with lots of redneck and gross-out humor, but came out with a long story, laced with a surprising amount of dramatic moments, little laughs and a sweet side. And even though the film itself doesn't really come through in the comedy department, I would still slightly recommend it on video, since it does offer a cute FORREST GUMP-ish story, a truckload of cameos and a couple of laugh-out loud scenes.  I mean, it's got Adam Sandler and David Spade's names all over it, the trailer features the four or five major idiotic sequences from the film, but it's really just a slow-paced dramedy about a kid who gets abandoned by his parents, with spurts of Farrelly humor, which ultimately end up feeling out of place. Now I'm not suggesting that they'd have tried to make an all-out drama out of this, but why not sell it more as a cute comedy with some soft touches, rather than your typical Sandleresque movie, since the latter will only leave people disappointed in the end.
I actually stopped waiting for the laughs about halfway through this film and tried to enjoy it as it was. With its wicked soundtrack packed with cool tunes, fun cameos like Kid Rock showing off his acting chops and Christopher Walken, once again, bringing the house down with yet another excellent comedic performance. Now how's about giving this guy his own comedy already?!? He's hilarious!! I will also admit to actually starting to care for the Joe Dirt character, which is something I really didn't expect to do, but with most of Spade's characteristic wise-cracks left behind him for a change, it was nice to see him play someone with a heart. Of course, the bevy of beauties gracing the screen throughout also didn't hurt the film any, but someone please explain to me how these TOTAL babes always end up going for Spade's goofy characters?? (see LOST & FOUND) Oh well, I guess that's Hollywood! Anyway, the bottom line is that this flick doesn't come through in the laughs department (save for a few rare moments), goes on for way too long, but does offer some bitchin' tunes, a sweet story and a character that is ultimately likeable, in that sorry-ass kind of way. See it on video if you're looking for a few laughs and a cute story, but don't go out of your way to get it, since it ain't really all that good.

This example shows how Bokeh custom extension models can be used with Bokeh server applications. While there are many great features built into Bokeh, with custom extensions, and the Bokeh server, it becomes simple to connect powerful Python tools for data analytics to almost any web tool, widget, or framework, even if it is not built into Bokeh natively.

A New Growth Industry
问题描述 :
The culture dish is a square, divided into 400 smaller squares (20×20). Population in each small square is measured on a four point scale (from 0 to 3). The DNA information is represented as an array D, indexed from 0 to 15, of integer values and is interpreted as follows:
In any given culture dish square, let K be the sum of that square’s density and the densities of the four squares immediately to the left, right, above and below that square (squares outside the dish are considered to have density 0). Then, by the next day, that dish square’s density will change by D[K] (which may be a positive, negative, or zero value). The total density cannot, however, exceed 3 nor drop below 0.
 Others result in immediate population explosions (e.g., [3,3,3, ..., 3]), and others are just plain boring (e.g., [0, 0,...,0]). The biologist is interested in how some of the less obvious DNA programs might behave.
Write a program to simulate the culture growth, reading in the number of days to be simulated, the DNA rules, and the initial population densities of the dish.
输入:
1. The first line will contain a single integer denoting the number of days to be simulated.
2. The second line will contain the DNA rule D as 16 integer values, ordered from D[0] to D[15], separated from one another by one or more blanks. Each integer will be in the range -3…3, inclusive.
3. The remaining twenty lines of input will describe the initial population density in the culture dish. Each line describes one row of squares in the culture dish, and will contain 20 integers in the range 0?, separated from one another by 1 or more blanks
输出:
Each character will represent the population density at a single dish square, as follows:
No other characters may appear in the output.

This is an open source experiment using deepstreamHub - a new type of realtime dataplatform
It uses WebRTC data channels and deepstreamHub as both a realtime datastore and signalling server. You can read a tutorial on how to do this or browse the source on Github.


Basically, a Plexus component must extend an interface that defines the ROLE
field and be defined as a component realizing that role. When using annotations to define
component metadata, the Plexus @Component annotation identifies the implementation
class as a component having the specified role.

**Chapter 11: Defocus Blur**
Now our final feature: defocus blur. Note, all photographers will call it “depth of field” so be
aware of only using “defocus blur” among friends.
The reason we defocus blur in real cameras is because they need a big hole (rather than just a
pinhole) to gather light. This would defocus everything, but if we stick a lens in the hole, there
will be a certain distance where everything is in focus. The distance to that plane where things are
in focus is controlled by the distance between the lens and the film/sensor. That is why you see the
lens move relative to the camera when you change what is in focus (that may happen in your phone
camera too, but the sensor moves). The “aperture” is a hole to control how big the lens is
effectively. For a real camera, if you need more light you make the aperture bigger, and will get
more defocus blur. For our virtual camera, we can have a perfect sensor and never need more light,
so we only have an aperture when we want defocus blur.
A real camera has a compound lens that is complicated. For our code we could simulate the order:
sensor, then lens, then aperture, and figure out where to send the rays and flip the image once
computed (the image is projected upside down on the film). Graphics people usually use a thin lens
approximation.
![Figure 11-1](../assets/fig11-1.jpg)
We also don’t need to simulate any of the inside of the camera. For the purposes of rendering an
image outside the camera, that would be unnecessary complexity. Instead I usually start rays from
the surface of the lens, and send them toward a virtual film plane, by finding the projection of the
film on the plane that is in focus (at the distance `focus_dist`).
![Figure 11-2](../assets/fig11-2.jpg)
For that we just need to have the ray origins be on a disk around `lookfrom` rather than from a
point:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ C++
#ifndef CAMERAH
#define CAMERAH
#include "random.h"
#include "ray.h"
vec3 random_in_unit_disk() {
vec3 p;
do {
p = 2.0*vec3(random_double(),random_double(),0) - vec3(1,1,0);
} while (dot(p,p) >= 1.0);
return p;
}
class camera {
public:
camera(vec3 lookfrom, vec3 lookat, vec3 vup, float vfov, float aspect,
float aperture, float focus_dist)
{
lens_radius = aperture / 2;
float theta = vfov*M_PI/180;
float half_height = tan(theta/2);
float half_width = aspect * half_height;
origin = lookfrom;
w = unit_vector(lookfrom - lookat);
u = unit_vector(cross(vup, w));
v = cross(w, u);
lower_left_corner = origin
- half_width * focus_dist * u
- half_height * focus_dist * v
- focus_dist * w;
horizontal = 2*half_width*focus_dist*u;
vertical = 2*half_height*focus_dist*v;
}
ray get_ray(float s, float t) {
vec3 rd = lens_radius*random_in_unit_disk();
vec3 offset = u * rd.x() + v * rd.y();
return ray(origin + offset,
lower_left_corner + s*horizontal + t*vertical
- origin - offset);
}
vec3 origin;
vec3 lower_left_corner;
vec3 horizontal;
vec3 vertical;
vec3 u, v, w;
float lens_radius;
};
#endif
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using a big aperture:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ C++
vec3 lookfrom(3,3,2);
vec3 lookat(0,0,-1);
float dist_to_focus = (lookfrom-lookat).length();
float aperture = 2.0;
camera cam(lookfrom, lookat, vec3(0,1,0), 20,
float(nx)/float(ny), aperture, dist_to_focus);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We get:

6.2 Evidence base
There currently exist several detailed taxonomies of successful open source community models, including the Apache Project Maturity Model and Mozilla’s Open Source Archetypes. The features that differentiate one open source model from another are often subtle, but important, in project organization, credit distribution, and methods for reaching consensus on strategic decisions. Decades of empirical research into open-source provides the following key findings relevant for the likely success of distributed research software development:
Governance in open source often includes a framework for organizing distributed work, establishing formal and informal roles for participants, managing access to resources, and distributing credit for work performed (O’Mahony 2007 ). Many previous studies of open-source success (measured as the long-term usefulness or accessibility of a codebase) have shown that vertical authority structures (such as how decisions are made and responsibilities are delegated) and horizontal coordination (open contributions) are key governance features that frameworks can help to make explicit and transparent (Stewart 2016). As contributors and maintenance responsibilities grow in scope, software governance research has also emphasized the importance of designing coordination processes so that contributors can be empowered to self-select tasks that lead to positive outcomes for a software project over time (Shaikh and Henfridsson 2017).
Documentation plays a key role in open-source projects - it eases the onboarding of new contributors and plays an important role in the effective reuse or repurposing of a software package (Aversano, Guardabascio, and Tortorella 2017). Documentation is also an important, but often underdeveloped, aspect of software development in research settings (Geiger et al. 2018). Underdeveloped documentation is true of all software development,4 but the tedious and time consuming tasks related to creating useful documentation are arguably more difficult in research settings where the development activities focus on solving practical problems in analyzing or interpreting data (Ram et al. 2018).
Maintenance is also a key element of open-source development activities. Maintenance includes solving problems introduced by operating system changes, code defects, and evolving software to meet emerging user requirements (Bourque and Fairley 2004). Open-source projects often face practical challenges in attracting and retaining maintainers. Previous empirical studies show that many projects on GitHub, for example, have only 1 maintainer (Eghbal 2016). Recent surveys of developers report that up to 86% of projects have no maintainer (Coelho and Valente 2017).
Licensing is a key feature defining an open-source model of software development. But, developers often have a difficult time making licensing decisions without consultation of legal experts. A recent survey makes this point clear - up to 38% (n=375) of experienced developers were not able to select an appropriate license given a scenario in which they were asked to identify an appropriate license for a given software library (Almeida et al. 2017). Developers’ understanding of how to interpret licensing restrictions also significantly decreased in scenarios where multiple licenses were required.
For software projects that have the potential to broadly impact research communities, we believe that, at minimum, there should be greater support for making decisions about governance and licensing, and assistance in creating useful documentation that can attract new contributors or ease maintenance tasks. Rather than simply creating a guidebook or articulating best practices for adopting open-source models of software development, a meaningful intervention for URSSI could include close interaction with and service to research software development projects that seek a route towards sustainability through community engagement and collaboration.

The Cape Town southern suburbs contain some of the Western Cape’s top schools but getting your child in to your desired school is very much dependent on living in the catchment area. These catchment areas are not always precisely defined with schools often just indicating that it should be the closest school to the child’s home.
My objective was to determine which areas would feed to a particular school based on distance.
We start by loading the ggmap package in order to geocode the set of schools.
This gives a data frame:
lon
lat
name
18.47534
-33.96447
Rondebosch Boys Preparatory School
18.47343
-33.96927
Groote Schuur Primary School, Rondebosch
18.49046
-33.97614
Golden Grove Primary School, Rondebosch
18.47072
-33.97929
Claremont Primary School, Claremont, Cape Town
18.48917
-33.96159
Rosebank Junior School
18.45988
-33.98285
Grove Primary School, Claremont, Cape Town
We can now use ggmap to plot these on a map:
In order to separate the areas on the map in to catchment areas we need to define boundaries around each school that are equi-distant to neighbouring schools.
To do this lets define a grid across the map:
The aim will be to now map each grid point to its closest school which we can do using k nearest neighbours with k = 1. Note here that we pre-process the coordinates in to UTM (cartesian-type) coordinates for doing the distance calculation.
To get a more granular view let’s rerun the code segment with resolution set to 1000.
It would be nice to rather have a set of polygons define each region instead of a large set of points. It turns out that one can compute a convex hull which is the polygon that surrounds all the points.
Here is an example:
Now let’s apply this concept to our grid:
The result looks like this:
lng
lat
school
18.48614
-34.00188
Claremont Primary School
18.48660
-34.00392
Claremont Primary School
18.48660
-34.00412
Claremont Primary School
18.47622
-34.00412
Claremont Primary School
18.47613
-34.00392
Claremont Primary School
18.47595
-34.00354
Claremont Primary School
18.47494
-34.00143
Claremont Primary School
18.47246
-33.99620
Claremont Primary School
18.46300
-33.97621
Claremont Primary School
18.46116
-33.97232
Claremont Primary School
This data frame should be enough to enclose our points in to a polygon.
Let’s plot the convex hulls as polygons on our map.
And there we have it! Now we know which areas one should buy a house in to maximise ones chance of getting in to a particular school.

Less bother than a pie, vegetable crumble is a great way to use up what you have in the fridge, cupboard or freezer! You can change the filling with the seasons making green and summery fillings in the spring and summer and heartier root vegetable crumbles in the winter.
Adult’s job: Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Kid’s job: Chop or slice all of the vegetables into roughly equally sized pieces and set aside.
Kid’s job: For the crumble, put the flour into a mixing bowl. Chop the butter into little lumps and add it to the flour. Using your fingers rub the flour and butter together. Keep going until it looks like breadcrumbs (a few lumps are ok!). Stir in the oats, cheese, pepper and seeds (if using). Set aside.
Adult’s job: Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan and melt the butter until it bubbles slightly. Add the garlic and stir for a minute. Add the flour and stir well for another minute. The butter and flour will thicken and change colour slightly. Gradually add the stock or milk a little at a time, stirring as you pour. The sauce should thicken up and not be lumpy. If it is you will need to mix it really fast to get rid of any lumps.
Kid’s job: Taste your sauce. (Careful - it’s hot.) You may want to add some salt and pepper, grated cheese or just a squeeze of lemon juice.
Adult’s job: Add the chopped fresh vegetables (but not any frozen ones) to the sauce and cook gently for five minutes, stirring often. Then add any frozen vegetables and any of the optional extras like cooked meat or tinned beans and stir through.
Adult’s job: Pour the saucy vegetables into a 20cm/8in square baking dish and let it cool slightly.
Kid’s job: Sprinkle the crumble all over the top of the vegetables. You should cover all of them up and have a nice thick crumble topping.
Adult’s job: Place the dish onto a baking tray (to catch any spills) and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the crumble is golden-brown all over.
Adult’s job: Remove the crumble from the oven and leave to cool slightly before serving.


InitScintilla()
语法
Result = InitScintilla([LibraryName$])概要
Loads the Scintilla DLL which is needed to use the commands of this library.
参数
LibraryName$ (optional) Specifies the path and name of the DLL file (default is 'scintilla.dll'). The scintilla DLL file is included in the "Compilers" folder of the PureBasic package.
返回值
Nonzero if the library was loaded successfully, zero otherwise. On OS X and Linux, the return value is always #True as the library is linked statically.
备注
This command is useful only on Windows, as on the other OS, the scintilla library is linked statically with the executable and therefore does not need to be loaded or distributed with the program.
